* ''WebVideo/KanePixelsTheBackrooms'' has the episode "Backrooms - Found Footage #2" open with the main character filming a rift in their garage that leads to this universe's version of The Backrooms. She experiments with woodchips and a baseball, the later being a similar idea to the tennis balls used in the 1982 ''Poltergeist'' film. Like with ''Poltergeist'', insertion of an extension item (a tape measure in this case) into the rift has unpleasant consequences; rather than pulling a monster backwards through, it instead pulls the camera through into the alternate dimension where the bulk of the video commences.

* ''Series/FaerieTaleTheatre'': The climax of the adaptation of Robert Browning's version of "Literature/ThePiedPiperOfHamelin" manages to be both faithful to the poem ''and'' an extended PlayedForDrama homage to this film, perhaps inspired by the fact that the nature of the Piper's music (which "tells" its targets that if they follow him they will reach their idea of Paradise) is not unlike how Carol Anne is lured to the Other Side. When the Piper enchants the children of the town to follow him, a disembodied female voice cries ''"He's heeeeere!"'' as they suddenly and obediently leave their schoolwork, etc. behind. From there, when they reach Koppleberg Hill and the portal opens in the rock, all that can be seen is a blinding white light that the Piper and the contentedly smiling children file into.
